Maintain Employment for WHO Staff !

The Issue

The World Health Organization (WHO) plays a crucial role in maintaining global health security, employing thousands of dedicated professionals worldwide.

The Associated Press obtained a document shared among some WHO senior managers that laid out several options, including a proposal that each major department or office might be slashed in half by the end of the year. 

However, we have found a potential solution to preserve these vital jobs without compromising the organization's financial stability. Land plot 406 in Geneva is a non-essential piece of WHO's property with its temporary low-cost structures that become redundant after construction of a new state-of-art building and complete renovation of the iconic older one. Selling this redundant land could generate considerable revenue, helping to sustain employment for all WHO staffers.

Let's ensure the continued functionality of this hardworking, critical organization and the livelihoods of its staff. Please sign this petition urging WHO to keep all its staff employed by selling its surplus Land plot 406 in Geneva.

Please share this petition through social media using #1WHO1World, and directly both with those who are #ProudToBeWHO and all people for whom #WHOMatters!

This petition appeals for maintaining jobs of WHO staffers', the “worker bees”  through sale and/or lease of redundant assets in Geneva as well as long-overdue financial and institutional reforms, including slashing of WHO monstrous fixed costs and restructuring debt repayment for the new Emperor WHO palace that was financed by a 50-year 140 million Swiss francs loan. 

Learn more about present dramatic situation of the Organization here #WHOCrisis

Read documents related to the Plot 406 sale: Renovation Strategy WHO HQs in Geneva  and Update on the Infrastructure Fund.

Let this petition be heard by WHO Member States and WHO Leadership, so they'll think again!

Let's support all WHO staffers and financial stability of their families. In times like these unity and solidarity matters!
